Can't repair a head gasket, only replace it.
If the heads overheated, you'll need to make sure the heads didn't get warped or crack. Best thing to do is take it to a machine shop to verify this, or make sure who ever is replacing your head gasket verifies the heads are good, otherwise you'll experience problems.

No such thing as repair of head gasket. once cylinder head is lift up, the head gasket must be replaced because they are crush gaskets. For 1995, it would cost more than car is worth. Depends on how much damage and if machine shop can save the head vs. replacement. I would say about $1000 labor, and another $1500 if head is overheated/warped beyond the repair.

You can't repair a head gasket. Once it's gone, it's gone. Better of to change it. Those so called stop leak solution is just temporary and can do more damage and clog up the cores in the radiator.

option#1
1 bottle of Barrs stop leak& head gasket sealer and 3 for sale signs,less then $20.
option #2
remove and replace the head,have it blasted for cracks and replace Both head gaskets around $1500.
your blazer is a 95,it only values out at $1200.

Black pepper will seal your head gasket cheaper than all the stop leak you can buy!
